Brunelli & Co., LLC, exclusive leasing agent for the property. As planned, the site will house two buildings with a total of approximately 94,200 square feet of space.
Floor & Décor’s third New Jersey store will occupy a 74,200-square-foot freestanding building feet at the site, where construction is expected to begin next spring. Developer Mocci Industries of Woodbridge anticipates that tenants should begin opening in the fourth quarter of 2017.
R.J. Brunelli also announced that an initial lease for the property’s smaller 20,000-square-foot building is out for signature with Metro Diner for approximately 4,000 square feet, leaving approximately 16,000 square feet available. The Old Bridge, N.J.-based retail real estate brokerage is seeking additional foodservice tenants for the balance of the space, including a full-service restaurant (with liquor license available).

We are very pleased that Floor & Décor chose Richmond Plaza for its first central New Jersey location, This site is the last prime developable parcel in Woodbridge and offers great visibility and easy access from both Route 1 and St. George Ave. With Floor & Décor’s proven draw, we anticipate that Richmond Plaza’s reach will also extend to the many residents of nearby Staten Island who regularly shop at Woodbridge Center and neighboring properties.
